Abstract

Corn cv. Suwan I was stressed by 100mM NaCl solution under different irrigation methods at relative humidity of 35% and 80%. The plants grown under continuous irrigation showed a favorable growth. The enrichment of Ca, K, Mg could improve growth and lessen Nn concentration in shoot. The low humidity (35%) resulted in drastic decrease in relative growth rate (RGR). The Na content in shoot was not totally responsible for this reduction. Salt-induced damage during initial growth could be reduced by seed soaking, application of 1% agar to soil and surface mulching.
